shinkansen ride from kawaguchiko to osaka

Shinkansen ride from Kawaguchiko to Osaka

I quote:
"Take a direct Hikari train on the JR Tokaido Shinkansen from Shin-Osaka Station to Mishima Station (two hours, 12,000 yen, one direct train every two hours) and transfer to a Fujikyu bus to Kawaguchiko Station (1.5 hours, 2260 yen one way, see timetable) in the Fuji Five Lakes region. There are additional train connections between Shin-Osaka and Mishima that require a transfer along the way.
Japan Rail Pass holders can save a little bit money by taking local JR trains from Mishima to Gotemba (one transfer of trains at Numazu along the way) and then board the Kawaguchiko bound Fujikyu bus at Gotemba Station (1 hour, 1510 yen one way, see timetable) instead of Mishima Station.
The Japan Rail Pass is valid on Hikari and Kodama trains along the JR Tokaido Shinkansen as well as on local JR trains between Mishima and Gotemba, but the buses between Mishima, Gotemba, and Kawaguchiko are not covered."

I tried to search through Hyperdia since I need to calculate my timing for the trip back from Kawaguchiko to Osaka, but it shows that I need to take the trains through Shin-Yokohama.
Can you please help to format the search so it confirms the info above?
Thanks!

Hi there,

I'd be more than happy to help. Could you link me your search in Hyperdia.

This way I can explain the route you have found and possible alternatives.

I see what the problem is. Hyperdia does not know bus routes. So it will try to find the best train connection for you.

If you want to use the route explained above, then you'd have to look at traveling to Mishima. From there you can use the bus.

I looked into this route not too long ago, you can however also use the one found in Hyperdia. The difference with the above route in minimal regarding to travel time and you can make better savings using the JR Pass.
